One little spark of madness.

Still working on my @thiswritingdesk lessons.

Always be the person who cares.

I made a few pages a while ago that I never shared. I’ll slowly catch-up.

Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.

Continuing to practice @thiswritingdesk lessons and pairing them with quotes. This is all the energy I have right now and grateful to Kolbie’s lessons for helping me get a little art in as often as I can.

I am taking @thiswritingdesk watercolor classes. Even though I’ve already done a lot of their challenges and tutorials I am using this opportunity to re-practice and play. Sometimes progress is fun, sometimes.just loose play is fun and sometimes going back to the basics and reinforcing what you learned before is fun. I am trying to do all of it.

I think I am also pushing the paper in the @heyprimrosia journals to its limit. It buckles a bit but it is standing up to all this water reasonably well.

Review: Thieves’ Gambit

Thieves' Gambit
Thieves’ Gambit by Kayvion Lewis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was quick and fun and indeed a mix of The Inheritance Games and Ocean’s Eleven.

Review: The Covenant of Water

The Covenant of Water
The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Verghese is such a talented story teller. I love his multi-generational stories. The way there’s a thread that goes through the years and years and the way you get so attached to his characters. But I also did think this one was too long.

The Throwback Special
The Throwback Special by Chris Bachelder
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

A short and really funny novel about a group of male friends who come together yearly to reenact a football game. This novel is really entertaining and reading the men’s thoughts and actions will make you laugh out loud.
